I’m a 30 year old woman who’s only really played card and puzzle games on my phone. Im considering new hobbies. Is it worth trying to get into video games for the first time. Where would I even start.

    Get a Quest 3! If you’re brand new to gaming I think VR is more intuitive than picking up a traditional controller for the first time.

      Or don’t give Meta any money. Idk, I just don’t want something made by Meta that has cameras and an internet connection inside my home.

        I don’t blame you. Personally I use a Pico 4 and don’t touch Quest. I’ve got two PCVR gaming rigs, full body tracking with lighthouses etc etc. But we’re not taking about me, or you, or an experienced gamer. We’re talking about a 30-something whose never touched a controller.

        For someone that’s new and wants to see what VR is about a Quest is undeniably the easiest way to try things. Then they can decide to upgrade from there if they so choose.

        Your personal experience isn’t everyone’s experience. VRChat alone is worth spending some time in (assuming you escape the kids). I know some people that Only play Walkabout Mini Golf, and there’s nothing wrong with that. For someone completely new to gaming I think it’s a good start. Wish there’s been a shitload of new VR games this year.
